Jannik Sinner joined Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev in the semi-finals of the Australian Open when he demolished home favourite Alex De Minaur 6-3, 6-2, 6-1 at the Rod Laver Arena.
Sinner, who had won every meeting between the two players before this one, was in complete control throughout the match and broke the Australian’s will with a mix of heavy hitting and pinpoint accuracy from the baseline. It was a stark contrast to the Italian’s performance against Holger Rune on Monday when he battled through illness and niggles to get into the last eight.
